AuthorTopic: web-hand (Read 1848 times)

I've been training webhand strikes lately, well since I've seen some of Nick's material. Are they really so effective? I can't exactly hit my training partner with one? O wait a minute have I just answered my own qeustion?

A web hand strike is kind of a palm strike anyway, and has little use other than a strike to the throat. Face maybe? Under the nose? If you tried you could think up some other applications. So it gets little special attention. I include it in my Palm Strike Module.

You have to be aware about hitting and crushing the windpipe. And your thumb. The strike has to be centered so that your thumb or maybe wrist, won't get hyper-extended.

Actually use of the web hand comes ito play when one is doiing a gun defense -using the web hand with thumb down to strike and wrap around the slide of the pistol-the other to do repeated strikes with fist, palm, or even web (c grip) to throat.
